Saint Rose President Carolyn J. Stefanco with female graduate in cap and gown

“I am an unlikely leader,” President Carolyn J. Stefanco wrote in her recent “President Speaks” column for Education Dive, which covers education news and trends. “As a first-generation college student and a woman who came of age in an era when the feminist movement was just beginning to challenge long-held assumptions about gender roles, I somehow managed to become a college president.”

In addition to sharing her personal journey to a college presidency, Stefanco also lays out several steps that should be taken to create leadership opportunities for women in the field.
